Layla: “Didn’t hear clearly. Only his voice was heard.”
“Sister, you can sleep with me tonight!” Hazel said, “Maybe we really misunderstood
Dad.”
Layla: “But that child…”
“He doesn’t look like Dad that much. Why don’t we go down and take a look now?” Hazel
said.
“Okay! Let’s go and see again.”
The two sisters went downstairs together as they spoke.
In the master bedroom.
After Elliot finished what he wanted to say, Avery’s mood instantly calmed down a lot.
Avery: “Sterilization is not 100% able to prevent pregnancy.”
“The doctor told me at the beginning that as long as the operation is successful, it is
almost 100%.” Elliot vowed, “Otherwise, let’s go to the hospital for an examination to see
if there is any accident in the operation I performed before.”
Avery glanced at the time, it was almost 9 o’clock.

pregnant? Why do you think I can let other women have children?” Elliot became more
confident as he spoke.
He took Layla’s pink pillow off the bed and got into bed.
Avery watched him go to bed, echoed what he said, and for a moment, didn’t know what
to do.
“Avery, where is the most basic trust between people? You don’t believe me so much, it
really breaks my heart.” Elliot complained, “I’ve never been wronged like this! I’m with
you every day, What kind of person am I, do you really have no idea?!”
“The result hasn’t come out yet! You started complaining.” Avery looked sideways at him.
“Anyway, that child is not mine. I have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of the shadow. I
will sleep here tonight.” Elliot shook off the quilt and covered himself.

The next day, Hayden returned home.
After coming out of the airport, he took a taxi back to Foster’s house.
He deliberately didn’t ask the driver at home to pick him up.
From Hayden’s perspective, Elliot owned the entire Foster family.
If his mother and Elliot divorced, it was necessary for Elliot to leave the house. After
drawing a line with Elliot, Hayden planned to take his mother to Bridgedale to live.
Staying in the country meant that his mother would occasionally hear about Elliot, which
was detrimental to her efforts to get sober.
Seeing Hayden coming back, Avery immediately brought him shoes.
“Why didn’t you ask the driver to pick you up?” Avery asked.
“I can come back by myself, no need to pick me up.” Hayden changed his shoes and
glanced into the living room.
Elliot was here, and so was Layla.
“Brother, are you hungry?” Layla walked up to Hayden and asked.
“I’m not hungry.” Hayden’s eyes fell on Elliot.
“Hayden, that child is not mine.” Elliot knew what Hayden was going to say, so he spoke
first, “I had a vasectomy after I remarried with your mother. With our four children, I have

me, ask your mother.”
After a night of thinking, Avery gradually calmed down.
What Elliot said was true.
He had suffered a ligation, and neither of them had adopted any other means of
contraception these years, and she had never been pregnant, which showed that his
operation was successful.
“Hayden, there may be some misunderstanding about this matter.” Avery took Hayden’s
arm and pulled him to sit on the sofa, “We will wait for the paternity test results to come
out first.”
Layla poured Hayden a glass of water.
Layla: “Brother, did I scare you when I called you yesterday?”
“What do you think?” Hayden took the water glass and drank.
“I was really terrified at the time. Who knew that my father had undergone a vasectomy! I
didn’t tell you earlier.” Layla complained in a low voice, “Would you like to see that child?
That child really looks like our family.”
